The scene was set for a rebound win after losing to Campolindo last Thursday. Going in, it was hard to tell how we matched up against Miramonte. We knew they had beaten Northgate last week 8-1, but the individual scores were very close. We had the same experience with Campolindo. Regardless, the boys were pumped and focused on playing well…
The JV Softball Dons easily dispatched the Concord Bears last Friday with a 15-4 win. Pitcher Margaux Stone threw her first career no hitter in front of a solid defense and while the offense had a lot of hits to propel the JV team to their first victory of the season. The Dons got on the board in the bottom…
The Acalanes Softball team traveled on Saturday to Alameda to play in a rare Saturday morning game against the Encinal Jets, who were ranked #1 in NCS division 3. The Dons faced the Jets last year in the NCS playoffs and lost a nail biter, so revenge was on everyones mind against this fundamentally sound team with exceptionally strong hitters. …
On a perfect spring day, the Dons participated in the De La Salle Spartan JV Classic at Lone Tree Golf Club in Antioch. In a large field of schools from the East Bay, Marin, and San Jose, the boys came in 7th out of 16 teams. Junior Brody Greenfield shot 79 and came in 10th place individually. The player’s scores…
What an epic weekend! 36 members of the AHS Varsity swim team left AHS on Friday morning to drive to Mission Viejo for the 49th Mission Viejo Invitational.

A balmy but breezy baseball afternoon in Mill Valley saw the Dons offense get a quick upper hand over the Tam High Junior Varsity, building a 4-0 lead through their half of the fourth inning. The Dons manufactured their first two runs in the top of the second, with LF David Roux proudly trotting home as his protégé Jimmy Cusumano…
On Friday March 15th, the Boys JV lacrosse team faced rival Campolindo HS on Cougar turf. The game started fast with Campo winning the first face-off and taking a shot 11 seconds into play. But, it was saved by legendary Acalanes goalie #99 Luke Spinelli. Acalanes then seemed to take control. #6 Mason Lanphere took the first Acalanes shot at…
The Dons took on Campolindo but could not cage the Cougars in a tough match this past Friday night. The first half was dominated by an unrelenting Cougar offensive that put the Dons defense into overdrive. In the second half, the Dons defense held Campo to just 3 goals but the offense coudn’t quite catch up from the deficit from…
If the Dons could go back in time and erase the first quarter of their game against Campo on Friday night, Acalanes would be celebrating an 8-7 victory over the Cougs. Sadly, time travel hasn’t been invented yet. It wasn’t that the Dons’ offense didn’t get any shots off in the first quarter, they just couldn’t get any past Campo…
